The cinema module (so crazy good it is scary) will not ship at the same time the phone is released. It is the single most difficult trick we have ever done... even more tricky than the phone. It (cinema module) will shoot R3D's when released. Only thing better are its big brothers and sister Scarlet. One thing that everyone will have to consider... how much 2D am I going to shoot vs. 3D to 4V? No question that the world is 2D now. It is going to be interesting to see how fast 4V takes hold. 2D is "looking at". 4V is "being in".

So the cinema module will shoot 4v? Will there be a way to use current mags?

I will be posting (as will Jarred) a lot about how to create 4V content and how to get on the HYDROGEN Network... well before product release. We want everyone to have a shot at this.

What I am very curious about though is content creation possibilities for 4V content. As I read from your update big studios and other content creators are already working on content, read they probably already have a prototype of Hydrogen... anyways, a lot of us are not in the US and won't be able to visit Red for any demos etc. Do we non US citizens get a chance to get on the content creation train early on?

Considering all the people (including me) who have pre-ordered and blindly trusted in Red time and again, will we get any early on chance for 4V content creation?

I think this is a key thing a lot of people need to research and while it doesn't say precisely what the Hydrogen One's specs are it does allude to what it can potentially do. A lot of "us" are not totally familiar with much of the background mobile tech, but there's a lot of interesting things to discern from this.

I'll second it, these are just specs you can read and research for yourself.

For instance. The 835 has up to 25% better battery life plus features Quick Charge 4 and also about 25% increase in processing power, especially 3D applications thanks to the Kryo 280 CPU. In fact, digging deep shows the 835 is clearly the fastest Android processor by a decent margin.

Also notable is the support for UHD 4K video and HDR10 support.

The 835 also supports X16 LTE, or better known as 1Gbps down/150 Mbps up on it's modem and up to 4.6Gbps on WiFi. 60% less power draw with WiFi enabled, that's huge actually. Also there's Bluetooth 5 support which is rather forward thinking.

Camera side, electronic image stabilization is there if they want to tap into it. Seems like it can drive 2X 16 megapixel cameras or 1X 32 megapixel camera with HDR video support. UHD 4K 30fps capture on board it seems.

Audio is pretty exciting with support for 32-bit 384KHz audio DACs, again if RED is tapping into that and based on what I heard already the sound is stunning.

So there's a lot RED can tap into here and likely will be and on a total side note digging deeper into Qualcomm's actual roadmap sort of was interesting for what's coming in 2018 and 2nd half of 2019.

The additional level of interest will be in the form of modules and what they can add feature-wise to the phone specs perhaps outside of the boundaries listed here.

No... the Cinema Module will NOT shoot 3D to 4V. We are developing other modules for 4V and you can shoot 3D to 4V on the HYDROGEN One cell phone both front and back.

im sort of taking this as the phone without the module will NOT shoot R3D.
and the module might take until the 4th quarter of the year.
and the module will be super expensive, as he said: only thing better are its big brothers and sisters scarlet (not to mention raven?) so it will be better then the raven???
intersting.

I'd also have to think that 4V is years away from being a platform for mass audiences, 3D couldn't even last and VR is in trouble and really just finding it's niche in event shows and live experiences rather then stories or advertising. thought it's hard to see the future (for most of us) i know things take time, hey we wont even adapt to the metric system and in middle school they were saying by high school this will be how it is, and that was 30 years ago!

Not sure I believe the "super expensive" part for the Cinema Module. Also... better wait and see 4V and who is supporting it before making a "how long it will take" conclusion.
